Five years ago today a tragedy struck Virginia Tech.
Vigil April 23 (Virginia Tech)
Silently the watchers filter to the green
No smiling faces, only salty traces.
33 points on a lonely compass
Never again to direct a mariner,
Nor any other soul.
I never knew you.
Your dreams and hopes were never my concern.
I could not pick you out in a crowd.
Still, the silent drops of my candle
Cry softly into the grass.
Mirroring the mourning in my heart
For a burgundy and orange love
I never knew.
The gulf of grief keeps us together,
Regardless of the roadways and
Forces of personal acquaintance
Pray for peace, people everywhere
